Thank you for your hospitality! It is a beautiful and cozy home with a lovely pool overlooking nature. It is also located in a quiet and friendly neighborhood.We will definitely return.
From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The house is beautifully designed â spacious, and clean, with thoughtful touches that make it feel truly special.One of the absolute highlights was watching the local wildlife every day and just feeling completely connected to nature. It added a peaceful, almost magical touch to the entire experience.The location is perfect â private and close to everything we needed. The host was incredibly welcoming and made sure every detail was taken care of, making our stay effortless and relaxing.We left feeling completely rejuvenated and already canât wait to return. House is a true hidden gem â highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious escape surrounded by nature!
We loved our stay. Used the pool and pool/beach supplies/floats daily. Upstairs bedroom was cool and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. Shower pressure on first floor is great. Quiet and safe neighborhood was pleasant. The backyard allowed us to see birds, turtles, lizards and bunnies. Loved our stay!
Nestled at the end of a culdesac in a nice quiet neighborhood where everyone one walks in the morning and says good morning. Great house, perfect community spaces for hanging out together and a gorgeous area to sit in the morning and watch the serenity of the lake and wildlife
We loved our stay in Naples. The pool backing up to the lagoon was amazing for wildlife watching with morning coffee. The listing was accurate and the kitchen was perfect for making lunch and dinner. The property was immaculate and the owners were readily available for any questions. We wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in Naples.
This was a comfortable house with a really nice location next to a waterway. When you sit in the screened in pool area you can just enjoy the view of nature, so peaceful. We even saw some iguanas! The pool is well heated. The kitchen had some supplies which was helpful. The owners were very quick to respond when you reached out and check out was a breeze - no household chores to do before you go! The air-conditioning was a little touchy but fans made it comfortable. BYO shower supplies, but paper products and fresh sponge/hand soap/dish soap all provided. Wish I could have stayed by that pool longer!!
We have been staying in Fort Myers Beach and now Naples for seven years now. This place was by far the absolute best. We loved being 10 foot away from the lake and seeing the wildlife. The helmeted pool was just perfect for our cookout. The accommodations inside had everything you possibly could want And two washers and dryers, although not needed, would probably help a big family immensely. A all the way.
What a gem! The house is awesome and the perfect place for a relaxing vacation! We even didnât mind the full day of rain we got because we got to spend it looking out to the pond,just relaxing and taking it all in. The house is close to everything,felt like everywhere we wanted to go was 10 min away.Kids loved the pool! Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us!
This was our second stay in this home and we are booked for the next 2 years! Such a great place in a super location. Close to any store you could ever want and GREAT places to eat. Already looking forward to our next stay in 10 months!!!
The Property is great!
We enjoyed watching the wildlife in the lake Alligators bird and iguanaâs. Nice family time around pool! We had a great stay here.
Great neighborhood. When we were home, we spent most of our time outside where we were able to observe the many visitors. Guests included, alligators, iguanas and several bird species.
The space provided a tranquil environment to relax after a long busy day out exploring the Naples area.
One of the highlights of our trip was the boat ride from Marco Island. We had a really cool interactive experience with the local dolphins.
Highly recommend this property.
First vacation since we retired. So peaceful, enjoyed the pool every day. Loved searching the lake for turtles, Gaters birds. The Iquana's liked wondering & checking out your lard. Only issue was Traffic in Naples. found out when to be out. Much better.
Our kids loved the pool and watching the wildlife outside of the pool. The host was very responsive during our stay, and we explored many of the beaches, which are close car rides. It was a pleasure. Thank you!
Located on a quiet court, this property was more than we could have hoped for. Well-stocked in anticipation of all guests' needs, this property was truly a home away from home. Beautiful community for walks or runs, with easy access to shopping, beaches, and sports or other leisure activities, we could not have asked for more. When friends popped in to see us, they shared our point of view and felt we had truly hit the jackpot. Owners and property manager were only a phone call away, but were not really required for anything other than to answer a quick question or two and to receive our expressions of gratitude for an exceptional vacation experience!
Kosta and Nicky are excellent hosts and their place is a model for others who provide VRBO rentals. Both are responsive in the times they commit to and their home has the following benefits. Nice backyard view of a small body of water full of Iguanas, birds and even a couple of alligators. House is large for six adults and furnished with all the hardware to meet one's needs. Communication from Nicky and her husband are excellent. This is one place to make future returns over the next few years.
We came to Naples for our niece's wedding. This house was convenient to the venue in a quiet neighborhood. It's very comfortable with lots of common space. It had all the appliances we needed. The view out the back on the canal was excellent and we really enjoyed the pool. The host answered my questions very quickly. It's the only rental I've ever stayed in with no list of things to do before checkout. All we had to do was lock up the keys!
Property needed a good cleaning, and some repairs.
i am a widow in my 70âs and rented this property to enjoy the beautiful weather in Florida. Also invited two friends to join me. Upon arriving we noticed several issues with the property. We called the property manager and shared our concerns. There were washable rugs in the bathrooms that were not clean. We washed them ourselves. Windows looking out to the lake had smudges and finger prints on them. We had to clean then ourselves and were told by the property manager that the cleaning crew didnât clean windows! Litter was found around the pool, papers, and broken pieces of something plastic. The screen around the pool was busted in 5 places. Manager did send people to fix and repair it. Pool was not ready to use for several days chemicals obviously not right! Gate to back yard could not be closed-needed to be repaired so it would safer because we saw two alligators in the lake behind the house. Garage door openers didnât work (the manager did come over and put new batteries in them. Because the gate didnât close, I was very uneasy going down the side of the house to enter after dark. A motion light there would be nice as I had to use my phone flashlight to see the walkway and key box. Crumbs under the kitchen table. Tub in downstairs drained so slow we stood in water while we showered. Plus there was mold on the shower curtain was easy to spot and should have been replaced. Not clean! One of the pendant lights in the kitchen had no bulb in it and didnât work the whole time we were there, even after pointing it it to the property manager! Dishwasher not useable as it wouldnât close. This should have been very obvious to anyone who was in the house. Carpets in downstairs bedrooms were very dirty. Very worn and should be replaced. Upstairs bedroom and bath was clean and nice except for rugs that should have been washed. Top of stove was not clean.
Oven and microwave were. Cabinets In kitchen needed to be washed down. Floors not cleaned good as an empty water bottle was under the dresser, and some thing on the floor- so obviously the cleaning crew did a really poor job.
House poorly maintained!!! These issues should have been easily seen by the property manager!
We should not have had these problems to deal with! We did enjoy seeing the wildlife and the lake. Overall if the home had been maintained, and clean, we would have been happy with it.
Both my husband and I are from the frigid north however, we very much enjoy warm weather and beautiful beaches. We use to vacation quite a bit in the Caribbean but since the birth of our daughters, we don't feel safe going to these destinations anymore. With Naples, Florida we get the Caribbean weather and beaches but we also receive the comforts, amenities and safety of home. This is a destination that we would someday love to retire to.
We felt that the location of this property was outstanding. We love the fact that it's private and serene. A place where you can kick back and relax. We also love that within a 5 minute drive we can be on a beach, golfing, shopping or enjoying a wonderful meal. This place has it all. Natural preserves and wildlife for the nature lover, Beautiful coastlines and beaches for the ocean lover, The fabulous Philharmonic Orchestra for the music enthusiast, Golfing, tennis, hiking, fishing etc. for the sports enthusiast and fantastic upscale dining and shopping for all of us. Forest Lakes is also in close proximity to major highways which provides for easy access to major airports and cities.
